Brandeis Med/Dent Brigade February 2014 Honduras



Alexandra's Message

Dear friends and family,

I am so excited to be a part of Global Medical Brigades. This national volunteer organization offers students the opportunity to take their classroom knowledge and apply it in real-world conditions. The Medical Brigade travels to rural communities to provide basic health care and preventative care education. I will help set up a medical clinic in Honduras and work with local community members and physicians to improve health, sanitation, and education. This opportunity will be life-changing for both me and this rural community.

I would appreciate any donation to aid me in this effort. Every little bit counts. Thank you!

Volunteer Activity Description

Medical Brigade volunteers set up medical clinics in pre-identified communities to provide healthcare where access is limited. Each community receives a brigade every 3-4 months and between brigades the in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and conducts community health worker trainings to empower local leaders to perpetuate a consistent level of healthcare.

Dental Brigade volunteers provide urgent and preventive dental services in communities with limited access to healthcare. Each of our community partners receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months where hundreds of patients are treated with fillings, cleanings and extractions, and are given dental hygiene workshops.
